Pink flyer that has black text describing the study β€œCall for Participants. Do you identify as black and are into anime video games, board games, and or comics? I wanna hear about your experiences in the spaces and beyond. Participation will include a 20 minute pre-interview survey and a 60 to 90 minute interview. If you’re interested, please scan the QR code or email Andrea Smith @Andrea-C-Smith@uiowa.edu”. The IRB number (202409056) is at the very bottom along with a University of Iowa logo. As far as decorations, there is a dark and light pink checkerboard print in the background and purple embellishments on the flyer like a cat in the bottom right corner, shooting star in the upper left corner, and fancy, curly heart in the center of the flyer. There’s also a hand making a K-pop heart in the bottom left hand corner as if to thank the reader for stopping to read and consider participating. πŸ˜„
